Almorzar is irregular, but there's a rule, actually! "o" becomes "ue" in *stressed* syllables. So: "alMUERzo", "alMUERzas", but "almorZAmos". This happens in the present (both indicative and subjunctive), and in the imperative.
The other change is "z" -> "c", but this follows ortography rules. So, it will be "za" and "zo", but "ce" (like in "almorCé" and "almuerCe")
Edit: note that the "o" -> "ue" rule applies systematically. In "voseo" countries, where they'd use "vos" instead of "tú", they'll say "vos almorZÁS" where in standard Spanish it would be "tú alMUERzas".
Edit: I would suggest to use the Wiktionary web site for conjugations. They usually include information about rules like this one.
